CFP: Practical Approaches to Teaching Culture (03/01/07; RMMLA, Oct
4-7, 2007, Calgary, Albert, Canada)

I am seeking submissions for the Rocky Mountain Modern Language
Association’s "Practical Approaches to Teaching Culture" panel, to be
presented at the 61st annual RMMLA convention in Calgary, Alberta,
Canada (October 4-7, 2007).

In today's multicultural environment, college instructors are
challenged to develop lessons that increase students’ understanding of
culture and intercultural interaction. By integrating innovative and
creative lessons into our curricula, we can engage students so that
they apply the lessons they learn in the classroom to the world around
them.

What are some ways that you challenge students in considering and
analyzing the ideas of culture?

This panel seeks creative yet critical approaches toward teaching
culture in the classroom. We seek equally creative and innovative
presentations of those lessons to the group, allowing attendees of
this session to see and discuss your lesson, review handouts, view
PowerPoint presentation, and perhaps review sample student writing or
projects.

Please submit a 250-word abstract describing your presentation, what
audio/visual aids you will need to present, and a short 100-word
description of yourself.

Deadline for abstracts: March 1, 2007.

Those who have been accepted to this panel will be notified by March 15, 
2007.

In order to present at this conference, those who are accepted must
pay the applicable RMMLA dues (by April 1) *AND* convention
registration fee.

For more information about this conference, including but not limited
to the general call for papers, other sessions' calls for papers, and
available grants and awards to aid in the costs of attending (for both
faculty and students), review the Rocky Mountain Modern Language
Association Convention website at:
